I think I know what you mean. (Im a bit unfamiliar all the military lingo I admit.)
In my Joeverse, Duke is like he was in one comic I remember reading, where he trained the new GI Joe recruits. (is that what yo mean by NCOIC?) I also dont mind him as a squad leader when the need arises. He's good for that too. (I dont hate him altogether, it just annoys me that Hasbro seems to have forgotten who the real (not to mention original) leader of the GI Joe team is. And they keep pushing Duke down our throats as the teams leader. To me Hawk is like Optimus Prime, you dont replace him. Remember Rodimus?)
But Flint and Falcon are my second in commands. But Hawk still leads from the front. Sort of like how Picard did with his people. Even though he wasnt necessarily supposed to go on the Away Teams (that was his Fist Officer's job), he did so often. Not just because he was good at it, but because he liked to!
Even though Flint is outranked by others as well, he just seems the natrual second. Plus he's darn cool!
Falcon is also cool, and I would have liked to have seen him developed more as a character. And being Lt. he outranks a lot of others anyway.

Yeah, I read through like 18 pages of this thread. WOW its a long one. I just didnt have time to go through any more even though its quite interesting. So if you know of any specific pages that cover some of that, feel free to point me in the right direction.
OH and btw... this is such a cool topic!
I used to read all the file cards. I gotta admit though that even though I still love GI Joe and collect the new figures, I often dont read the cards any more. This strikes my interest to do so.
